ABSTRACT
Persimmon fruits (cultivars Kaki Tipo, Lycopersicon and Thiene) were held in 100% CO2 at 20 deg C for 20 h and then kept in a normal atmosphere at 20 deg for 3 days. Tannin concentrations decreased during treatment in Lycopersicon and Thiene fruits but not in Kaki Tipo fruits which did not lose their astringency after treatment. It is suggested that complete removal of astringency of Kaki Tipo fruits requires 72 h of CO2 treatment instead of the normal 20 h.
